The Eleventh Commandment
song by Collin Raye
SHE HEARS HIS HEAVY BREATHING IN THE DARK
HIS FOOTSTEPS COMING CLOSER DOWN THE HALL
SHE'S SO ASHAMED, SHE'S DADDY'S SECRET LOVE
SHE WANTS TO CRY, SHE WANTS TO DIE,
BUT HE CAN'T GET ENOUGH
THE BRUISES ON HIS FACE WILL GO AWAY
MOM KEEPS HIM HOME FROM SCHOOL TILL THEY FADE
SHE'S SORRY HE WAS BORN AND TELLS HIM SO
HE TAKES IT IN, HE HANGS HIS CHIN,
HE DUCKS ANOTHER BLOW
DID GOD OVERLOOK IT?
WHAT OUGHT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN......
THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT......
HONOR THY CHILDREN
HE CRIES FOR HOURS, CRIES AND NEVER STOPS
HE SHAKES SO HARD HIS LITTLE CRADLE ROCKS
HE'LL NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE BRAND NEW
HE'LL NEVER WALK, HE'LL NEVER TALK,
HE'S ADDICTED TOO
THOU SHALT NOT KILL......
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.......
THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE LORD'S NAME IN VAIN
THOU SHALT NOT CAUSE THY CHILDREN PAIN
